Demo of DSE Metrics Collector With The Official DSE Docker images

In this simple Tutorial we will walk through enabling the new DSE Metrics Collector demo using a DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6.7 Docker Container, exporting the metrics to a Prometheus Docker Container and visualizing these metrics using a Grafana Docker container.

Removing the Containers

If you are finished with this demo and ready to remove the containers. Doing this is a simple as running the following command

docker-compose down

Now if you run docker ps -a you will see the dse, prometheus and grafana containers are gone.

All the config files are still located on your host so if you decided to run the demo again, as long as you do not delete the demo data, all you have to do is run the below command again from the demo directory and you will be back where you were prior to destroying.

docker-compose up -d
